The pin-drop silence in Jackeline's ward is interrupted by the entry of her assigned nurse for the day, Christine Muthengi. Nurse Muthengi slowly took her through the pre-operation procedures, carefully explaining what the surgery was set to correct.

Once this was done, Jackeline was wheeled into surgery, where a scrubbed Dr. Oluoch waited.

Thirty minutes later, Jackeline emerged from the theatre. A brand-new world lay in wait to be conquered—Sans the stigma and the ridicule but full of a re-established self-belief.

Her future dreams might sound a bit cliché. All Jacqueline wants is to attend weddings without taking a pill. She wants to go to the funerals of her loved ones without wondering if people can smell her. She wants to be invited into people's houses. She wants to belong.

She wants to be her. She wants a return to normalcy. She wants to smile again. She wants to laugh again. Simply put, she wants to be her.

The 30-minute procedure performed by Dr. Oluoch will provide her with all these benefits and more.
